There, he has a chance encounter with Evelyn Skinner, a middle-aged art historian who has come to Italy to salvage paintings from the ruins and recall long-forgotten memories of her own youth. In each other, Ulysses and Evelyn find a kindred spirit amidst the rubble of war-torn Italy, and set off on a course of events that will shape Ulysses's life for the next four decades. As Ulysses returns home to London, reimmersing himself in his crew at The Stoat and Parot--a motley mix of pub crawlers and eccentrics--he carries his time in Italy with him. And when an unexpected inheritance brings him back to where it all began, Ulysses knows better than to tempt fate, and returns to the Tuscan hills. With beautiful prose, extraordinary tenderness, and bursts of humor and light, Still Life is a sweeping portrait of unforgettable individuals who come together to make a family, and a deeply drawn celebration of beauty and love in all its forms"--Publisher description. 650 0 $a British $z Italy $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Man-woman relationships $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Friendship $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Tuscany (Italy) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Inheritance and succession $v Fiction. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $z Italy $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Large type books. 655 7 $a War fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 16 945 $a lpt 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012024239.0 952 $l EHPA605 $d 20230912012610.0 952 $l REPC017 $d 20230325010503.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20221213010445.0 952 $l YFPC572 $d 20221022013037.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20221005014725.0 952 $l WAPD715 $d 20220929013343.0 952 $l NVPB663 $d 20220830010434.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20220804024401.0 952 $l BVPE851 $d 20220728020702.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20220514010755.0 952 $l UJPE911 $d 20220402013830.0 952 $l CQPE926 $d 20220329011231.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20220104013546.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20211209010513.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20211204010109.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D541EB6854CF11ECBAECE3EF50ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
